Today I went for my first "serious" (ahum) shark teeth hunt. Over the last few weeks I was keeping my eyes open while walking the beaches of Sullivans Island and Isle of Palms with my wife, but today it was "game on". Left the house at 8:00AM and drove to Folly Beach as I had been reading that of the beaches closes to me that was the best to look for teeth. Weather was nasty, cold and windy. Tide was still high but outgoing. Hardly anybody on the beach. Spent approximately 3 hours without finding anything. I was mainly looking in the accumulations of shells, seaweed, rocks, pottery higher up the beach. Saw one person picking up things at the waterline and decided to ask her what/how she was doing. We had a friendly conversation. I explained that it was my first time. She showed me a handful of small teeth that she found by looking for them as the shallow waves are rolling ashore. I decided that, as I had nothing to lose, to follow her method/advice and started to look close to the waterline as well. I do not think that more than 5 minutes passed before I found MY FIRST TOOTH EVER !! I know that compared with what others here report it is not much, but for me it meant that I had succeeded in my quest. Shortly after, I found a second one, but at that point the nasty conditions were taking their toll and I decided to call it a day. I will be back.

Another set of unknown fossils from my science museum! These are definitely from the same type of animal, likely found in South Carolina or North Carolina (I found them in storage so I can't be sure).
They are obviously different sizes and from different formations, but their structure is nearly identical, they are mirrors of each other. The symmetry suggests something in the hands or feet if the animal.

Here's my issue, I work in a science museum and our former director wasn't good at curating. He often knew what things were on sight, but he didn't write down much for us. I have a whole box of unknown fossils. Since we have several specimens of this fossil type, they were likely collected in South or North Carolina. We do have fossils and specimens from all over the world though, so it's not a guarantee.
So I don't know the location, I don't know anything about the geology, and I haven't been able to find similar fossils online visually.
I have many pictures, struggling with the file size restraints. I will post more pictures in the reply.
Please ask for any details I may have.

Hello all! First post here; please forgive me if I'm not doing something right.
I found this fossil in a creek in Summervile, South Carolina and I believe it's part of a hip bone. I have no idea what it could be from and I am hoping somebody on here could help me out! Thank you so much!
(My photos are too large and if I made them smaller I will lose detail, so I will be adding photos as posts asap)

32mm. Not so sure about the info and determination on this one, therefore the cf. Picked it up on an internet auction where the only information I could get was "Parotodus, South Carolina". However, with the help of the friends on the id forum I was able to narrow down the id and also am pretty certain that it was found in a river in the Oligocene.

I picked up this Parotodus tooth recently on our favorite auction site. The seller couldn't give me much information except to say that it's from South Carolina. I was just wondering if someone might be able to tell me more exactly where it might have originated? I also wanted to ask if this could be a P. benedeni and if it might be from the Eocene, Oligocene or Miocene?

My brother and daughter went out to a small creekbed nearby (Columbia, South Carolina) hoping to find arrowheads. They came back with this tooth. Sadly I broke it as I was taking the photos. In the picture that is looking at the root of the tooth, I had to hold it together. I included one of the inside in case that helps at all. Any guesses?

Hey everyone! This is my collection of fossils! I have too many collections of stretched from Boy Scout memorabilia to American coins. Most of my fossils are from Pennsylvania and South Carolina. The ones from South Carolina are mostly from the Pleistocene Epoc, while the ones from up north are from the Pennsylvanian period. Mammalian fossils are my favorite especially when I find some awesome teeth! Pictures will be coming over time!
All of these are ones that I have found. None have been bought.

Hi! Yeah I joined just to get something identified. It's what I think is a Shark Vertebrae, about an inch in diameter and a cm tall. Anybody with any idea what shark it is? Two holes on bottom, two on top. And dimples on the sides.

Hey guys! Just a few things I found on Folly, i’m not too knowledgeable. Think I got a puffer fish & stingray mouth/dental plate. If anyone can ID and give an approximate age of what’s in the pic, that’d be cool. Pic attached.

Hi! I don’t know much at all about fossils, but I love going to Folly Beach and picking up shark teeth. In a few hours, I can get about 50-100 teeth. I have an idea of the identity of some, but want to be more sure. If anyone has any info on the identity/age/etc., that’d be great! I think my larger tooth is a meg, are megalodon teeth fairly common at Folly? I’ve gone to Summerville to try to look, but had no luck (no idea where to look). Here are some pics (most are not completely whole):

Hello all, my wife and I are making the trip from Virginia Beach down to Summerville,Sc to hunt some creeks for the first time! We’ve been talking about going down there for years, and we finally decided to stop procrastinating and go!! We are very excited, but don’t know exactly where to start. We are going to look at a geological map and do some other research to find out what creeks we should start in. If any one on here has any tips or pointers about hunting here or can point us in the right direction, it would be much appreciated! Also does rainfall affect hunting any of the creeks there?
Thanks for any advise, @bnm_fossils

Hello.
My son and I are heading to South Carolina to Summerville area and Folly Beach area to search for Shark Teeth. This is a big trip from California for 4 full days and we hope to find some great fossils. This is August 4th-7th. We are doing an excursion on the 4th. But for the next day or two it is quite hard to figure which creeks/rivers are OK to go to which will give us some luck. Any insights? Checked the forums but it has been hard to find exactly where to go. On the last day we head to Folly beach to see what is there. Any insight on what section to start with? I have been following the tide charts.
Thank you!

Hello fossil hunters. I have moved to South Carolina, Myrtle Beach, from Pennsylvania over a year and a half ago. I am anxious to try my hand at hunting for sharks teeth on land in South Carolina. I have dove the Cooper River for sharks teeth about five years ago. We did eight dives in two days and collected A variety of nice teeth and a few Meg partials. I don’t like diving with alligators. I have collected some Fossils from Illinois ,Pennsylvania, New Jersey and shark teeth from the beaches by our home in Myrtle Beach. I have seen several videos of shark tooth hunters on land west of Charleston. I would really appreciate some help with directions on a place that I can start hunting also. Being new to the area I am looking for help in where to start hunting on land. Thank you in advance for any help that anyone can give me.
